Williams want Sargeant to hit ‘clear targets’ to retain 2024 F1 seat
Logan Sargeant, the American rookie driver for Williams, has had a difficult debut season in Formula 1 and has yet to score a single point. He has been unable to outperform his teammate Alex Albon, who has been responsible for all of Williams’ 21 points so far this year. Sargeant has also been involved in several incidents since the summer break, including crashes in Zandvoort and Singapore, as well as a significant crash during qualifying at Suzuka. Despite the pressure on Sargeant, Williams is committed to supporting him and helping him succeed in reaching the goals set for him to secure his drive for next year. Williams’ Head of Vehicle Performance, Dave Robson, believes that Sargeant’s recent incidents do not reflect his steady improvement, and Williams’ Strategy Director, James Vowles, agrees with him, pointing out that Sargeant is at a disadvantage with the specification of his car compared to his teammate. Williams will continue to invest in Sargeant and their young driver program, and no decisions will be made about his future until all parties agree that it is the right time.
